Exploring the essentials of using the Physical Renderer

…The Physical Renderer is a part of your render engine that…simulates real cameras and real life situations relatively easily.…So most of the time, when I'm trying to use the Physical Renderer,…I'm literally just trying to set up shallow depth of field in a nice scene.…So that's what we're going to focus on here in this video.…Let's go ahead and render to the picture viewer.…And you should notice that I've just rendered the scene.…And it took three seconds to render.…Now, this is just the standard renderer.…
